Walking in the Scottish Highlands
Relax into the heart of Highland Perthshire on gentle yet impressive walks through forests, glens and story-soaked landscapes. Explore grand castles, Jacobite battle sites and charming villages, then round off each day with superior accommodation and
Scotland truly comes alive on foot, and this immersive walking itinerary invites you to slow down and savour the very best of Highland Perthshire. Wander through rolling hills, ancient woodlands and peaceful glens, where rushing rivers and towering Douglas firs set the scene for a journey rich in both natural beauty and fascinating history.
Step back in time at Blair Castle, exploring its treasure-filled rooms and manicured gardens, and discover the historic walled garden at Castle Menzies. Walk the dramatic landscape of Killiecrankie, site of the first Jacobite victory in 1689, and stand at Soldier’s Leap, where legend and history collide. At The Hermitage, marvel at Ossian’s Folly and the towering trees that frame this atmospheric woodland walk.
Culture and indulgence are never far away. Sample world-renowned single malts at Dewar’s and Blair Atholl distilleries, and for something a little sweeter, visit the Highland Chocolatier in Grandtully for award-winning creations.
Each evening, settle into handpicked accommodation in characterful towns and villages including Blair Atholl, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy and Dunkeld. Warm Scottish hospitality, excellent local food and charming surroundings make these the perfect places to relax after a day on the trail.
